Went to this new-ishly opened LP store in PJ called Hard Graft Records. The shop was opened in Dec 2013.... but the company has been around doing online sales since 2012.

It was an unplanned visit and I must thank bro Sting who insisted the shop owner Mr. Nick Mun to pass his pre-booked Zee Avi's Ghostbird LP to me instead. So today I went to collect the LP.... and to my surprised... the shop is full of new LPs for mainly metal, grunge, rock and punk genres.... There were At The Gates, Slayer, Bad Religion, The Clash, Ramones etc..

Got to talk a bit with Nick... and got to know that we were both quite active in the local underground scene since 20 years ago. Well... he still is... going for gigs..while yours truly only have the privillege of listening to those bands on my old cassettes. Names like Joe Kidd of Carburetor Dung and Fathul of SKC/Infectious Maggots came up.

Nick also have put up a simple set up with Rega amp and phono stage and TT for some easy listening.

This shop opening hours is:

Weekdays: 1030 to 1230 and 230 to 430 pm

Weekends: 11 am to 6 pm

Address (its on google maps):

25A, 1st floor, Jalan 52/1, 46200 PJ.

Its beside the MPPJ building... Look for this bakery shop. There is a glassdoor with this architect company and the shop is on the 1st floor.

Nick also can be contacted either via Facebook or mobile +60123033700 for ordering LPs.

Currently, sales are done with cash... So make sure you bring a lot as u will be buying lots.
